Legalize the only medicine which can ease my ailments. If the President's daughter was in my situation, there's no doubt that it would be legalized.

That made me so happy.

vote yes for the legalization of marijuana.

Yes as long as there's strict rules to protect little ones which is hard to do.

It should be legalized. If you are going to have cigarettes legal, which kill 400,000 annually. Why not legalize cannabis, when there has never been 1 reported death caused by marijuana..... it's a harmless plant, doesn't make sense

if it got legalized the goverment would tax it highly then there would be alot of crap bud out there genetically grown so no

if you said no.. what the fuck are you doin on cannabis.com??

I don't think so. If the government did this they would be inviting black market commercial growers back into the setup

After legalisation I would look forward to:

1. Consistent quality products
2. A guide to strength (e.g. % THC) this would be great
3. Genetic History of the plant - helps meds users find high CBD Indica strains and someone who wants to try it out a light Sativa etc etc
4. Regulated growth, prep (curing) and distribution - so that means controlled use of pesticides and proper curing plus decent storage = good product. Plus I get to know what went into it.
5 A regular supply of quality product.

OK you can do some of the above by growing your own too

If cannabis were legalised into a commercial product the results could potentially be dynamite to the average smoker.

If the government fucked it all up we would all go back to the black market anyway - they know this. They would have to create a quality product to compete. If it were managed properly with the long game in mind then we could look forward to being to pick and choose like kids in a candy shop.

Amsterdam the world over

I voted yes, although I don't think it should just be legal and that's it. I do think there should be regulations. Age limit for one. I don't think a 12 year old should be smoking pot, just like they shouldn't be drinking alcohol. This is my theory on the whole situation..... If cannabis was legalized with restrictions as follows, it wouldn't be hurting anyone or putting anyone in danger. My suggestion for the law..... you must be 21+ to purchase, consume or grow cannabis. Cannabis cannot be used freely in public places, but could be used freely in the safety of your home. You can not drive or operate heavy machinery or go to work while under the influence of cannabis. Cannabis is permitted in a motor vehicle ONLY for the purpose of transporting to your home. 1 ounce limit at all times. It would of course be taxed if purchased at a smoke shop or store, but the tax shouldn't be discriminatory. It should be the same percentage as tobacco.

This would take care of the "getway drug" theory since there wouldn't be any interaction with "drug dealers" who try to push harder stuff for a better high.

It would allow for us responsible U.S citizens to use it for recreational use and enjoy it!

Who's with me on this one???????

where did the no's come from

So does jail, for millions of pot-smokers around the world like you and me. And taxes, which you have to pay to keep those pot-smokers locked up in cages with violent criminals.

I said yes.

Plus you should be able to grow for personal use as well.

Some people I know use it for pain ect and have less side effects then some of the nasty pills that are prescribed to them.

Just one point... If your smart you dont drink and drive.

Same goes for pot ... If you smoke you dont drive.

My 2 Watts.

i use cannabis myself it started as recriational use but has become very uselfull for pain releaf i love the stuff but i still dont know if i can say yes to the question in hand. u see there are no short term side affects of cannabis use but long term there is a long list my mind is mush and im very paranoid and scitaphrenic dont know if thats spelt write but ha well any way its not legal and it dont stop nuthin

I DEFINATELY wish it where legal but I think the gov figures if the legalize it then they would have to report all there under the table money they make from it. plus unlike alchohol and cigs its to easy for people to grow it themselves and eventually everybody would be smoking it for FREEEEE!!!!!!

yeah really good point
cheers all

Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time.

not tryin to sound like a asshole or anything but.....

no matter what you say the kids are still gonna get it, just like alcohol and tobacco, so why not help and just say yes, and put the decision back in the household where the parents decide what is good for their (child)

i mean hell, like 35% of people on here are from 14-18

totally voting yes for decriminalization

at least keeping it illegal is stopping a good percentage of people doing it, im pretty sure if it was legal it just wudnt be 'as fun'.

Yes it should be legal! Unfortunately all the folks who make money in the industry now (however much) will kiss those profits goodbye. Phillip Morris will make billions!

...that is the most....true statement,..... I have ever heard.

If it were legal the only market that would boom would be fertilizers, hydroponics dealers, grow lights, etc. Is hops and barley taxed? I don't know...

We don't need laws to protect children, we need parents who give a shit. When I graduated HS, my dad said "son, your mother thinks your on drugs. But I know better. I know your on drugs." He then went through all the illicit substances, giving instruction and warning, and forbidding me to try meth. I wasn't even on drugs, I just smoked herb with my German exchange student, who liked to brag that in his town people grew canna in their backyards. Then he showed me video of him and his freunds smoking a cone as a policeman strolled by. Now those are bragging rights.

It's an offence punishable by jail for farmers in Afghanistan to save seeds from season to season. They are forced to buy every year from Monsanto or some similar corporation. I don't think this could happen in the U.S., but who knows? With the decriminalization of cannabis could come certain concessions to the fascist corporate state. You might be forced to smoke only Victory brand reefers. (Anybody catch that reference?)

YESYESYES total legalization
